I think the biggest most recent thing is being able to make any of the truck lights your DRL instead of low beams only.

The DRL stuff on common tab spreadsheet & adding the "Average Speed" menu item to the cluster are the newest things you probably missed.

Get the latest spreadsheet. The DRL options are at the top of the Common tab.

Have I
A. Done something wrong in ForScan
B. Damaged my truck's charging system
C. Just not driven long enough
I hooked up a car charger to my battery, not noticing it was an AGM. I had the charger set to 50 amps and "conventional low maintenance". not "maintenance free deep cycle." After about 10 minutes, I started to smell an electrical insulation smell. I jerked the charger off the battery.
I then got my laptop and OBDLink MX connected and backed up my "as built" modules.
I then went into the BdyCM module and changed 726-48-02 from x1xx xxxx xxxx to x0xx xxxx xxxx. When I clicked on "Write" and "yes" the trucks lights flashed, the door locks cycled, and I got a message that it had been written and to cycle the ignition off and back on, which I did.
I then closed the program, removed the OBDLink from the OBDII port, started the truck, and drove around for about half an hour to see if it was, in fact, deactivated. Every time I stopped, the productivity screen said the truck was still on due to charging.
I am afraid I have damaged the charging system.

anyone know if I can use FORScan to edit the number of times the auto-turn signal blinks (aka tap-to-pass)? Default is 3x. I'd like to increase it to 5x. I have a 2013 Platinum ecoboost.
